Now that you're warmed up...

As I am sure I mentioned sometime in class, perfecting your writing is a thinking activity as much as it is practicing the mechanical skills you are learning. Page 417 from Grassroots with Readings lists the following as a writing assignment:

       "Which of your possessions are crucial to your happiness? What things do you own now that you could live without?  What possessions do you lack that you believe will make you happier?"

Answer all 3 questions in complete sentences. Check back to see my answer; I need to do some thinking myself. I don't want to jot down just anything.  Remember to use first name and last initial or first initial and last name. No full names, please -- and no aliases. Posting must be done by midnight of January 25th.

  5. My Bible is my one possession that is crucial to my happiness; without it, I would only be able to use my own wisdom to know the correct things to do.

    I could live without my television and without my cell phone; I enjoy my privacy and I hate being brainwashed by a corrupt society.

    No THING can make me happier, although living in a world reformed by love and lack of conflict would make everyone happier.

  6. Which of your possessions are crucial to your happiness?- the most possession I have at this moment is my phone, because I can't live without it.

    What things do you own now that you could live without?- my T.V only because iam always so busy I rarely have time to sit down and watch it.

    What possessions do you lack that you believe will make you happier?"- I believe that I lack a new car, I think that would make me a lot happier.

  10. My mp3 is crucial to me beaause it expresses me as a person.

    I could live without my stereo.I have a mp3 and a dvd player tha i can also listen to music from there.

    An ipod touch is one possession that I lack of and would make me happier. It would make me happier because my love for music grows just as must as technology does in this day of age.

  11. My shoes are essential to my happiness because I feel like I can rule the world with the right pair.

    My phone is something I can live without because I don't like people knowing where I'm at 24/7 when I'm with my boyfriend.


    The possession I lack the most is a working laptop, because the laptops I've had have been defective and they all end up crashing.

  13. My loved ones and best friend are the most crucial possession for my happiness.

    My I-pod,bed,house,car, anything that won't help me survive, I really don't need it in my life. As long as I have my family that's all I need. "Oh" and of course food and water.

    If the world wasn't so corrupt right now, if it was more peaceful and happiness filled the air instead of anger and hatred. This would make me feel immaculate.

    I know this is late, But I'm just happy I finished the assignment, I completely understand if I receive a zero..

  15. The King James Bible, is one possession that is crucial to my happiness. My television, cell phone and Ipod, are things I could live without. All of thes electronic devices would make my life more comfortable, but the scripture said,” Man shall not live by bread alone,” but by every word that proceed out of the mouth of God. Therefore my Bible is crucial, without it I am spiritually dead.
